Quantum Trust & SecurityIn developmentMC6

Applied Quantum Security for Critical Infrastructure

Design a proportionate transition and trusted-data architecture for a quantum-related infrastructure risk.

10+ structured hours Students · Academic staff · Researchers · Industry Online / blended

Why this mini-credential matters

Apply QKD, QRNG, key-management and post-quantum transition concepts to trusted telemetry, smart-energy data pipelines and other critical-infrastructure scenarios.

Learners compare options, dependencies and constraints and produce a proportionate mitigation plan grounded in system needs.

By the end

What you should be able to do

  • Assess a long-term quantum-related security risk.
  • Map QKD, QRNG and post-quantum options to system needs.
  • Sketch a trusted telemetry or data-pipeline architecture.
  • Prioritise a proportionate migration and mitigation plan.

Credential and recognition

Successful completion may lead to a STEMMING/project or delivering-HEI credential under the approved procedure for that cohort. EIT Label, ECTS equivalence and local recognition are not automatic and must be confirmed before enrolment.

The delivery owner must confirm the issuer, local recognition, any ECTS equivalence and final co-branding before recruiting a cohort.
